I’ve just come to the realization that I’m sick.

My New Addiction
Saturday Day Trip to Santa Fe
Well, we didn’t make it out to hike last Sunday. We got to the trailhead and it was just a little too crowded for Brandy’s taste. We decided to try the trail we had gone to the day before, but it was very crowded there too. We headed back down the mountain and wound up […]
Hiking
I’m not a hiker. I never have been. Never been a runner either. Hell, I’ve hardly been a walker in my life. Closest I’ve gotten to any regular outdoor activity was before I got my drivers’ license when I had a bike that I rode everywhere. As soon as I got a car though, phew, […]
Five Days
We’ll be leaving for our trip to the Midwest this Friday after work, hoping to be on the road around 4:00-ish. We’re planning on driving in to Liberal, KS, about six hours away, then finishing the trip Saturday, another ten hours or so, into Ottumwa. I’ll be meeting a pair of Brandy’s friends when we […]
Is This Heaven?
No. It’s Iowa. On the agenda for our next trip is a trip to Iowa to see Brandy’s parents. On our way out of Iowa, we’re going to swing through Dyersville, home of the Field of Dreams movie site. Carved out of the corn fields of the century-old Lansing farm, the site holds the diamond […]
Planned Trip: Rankin, IL, July 22-25
Before I go into my planned trip, I’m happy to say that my permanent pass for the Air Force Base is ready and I’ll be picking it up in the next day or two. Secondly, I’m going to say, I love working for Presbyterian. Despite losing money by the elimination of elective surgeries during the […]
Quarantine Breakout! Planned Trip: Crested Butte, CO, June 4-8
I met my partner, Brandy, on February 29, 2020. Before that, I’d never even heard of Crested Butte, Colorado. She had spent some time living there though and absolutely loves it. She has apparel, pictures in her (our) house, she talks about it constantly. In fact, she had an annual trip planned with her mother […]
Planned Adventure: Scenic Byway Tour – January 25, 2020
This weekend, I’ll be taking a leisurely drive through a few of my favorite scenic byways thus far: Corrales Blvd, Rio Grande Blvd through Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and 4th St through Albuquerque and into Bernalillo (the original alignment of Route 66, pre-1937.) I take Rio Grande Blvd. on my way to and from work […]
Planned Adventure: Albuquerque Museum, Old Town Albuquerque – January 18, 2020
The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited For my first adventure, I’m going somewhere I’ve been before: The Albuquerque Museum where they’re hosting The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited. The exhibit features puppets and Muppets, props and costumes from many of Mr. Henson’s movies and shows, including The Muppet Show, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth (which […]
